This Wine Glass (Almost) Never Runs Empty

When the first wine was made in Georgia seven thousand years ago, special cups were probably crafted right away to drink that wine from, too. And these days, you don’t count if you don’t have Riedel or Schott Zwiesel wine glasses in your cupboard, but those cozy Duralex café glasses. Until… this brilliant wine glass came onto the market, allowing the true professional to definitively distinguish themselves from the amateur.

Problem 1: the wine is over there and you’re sitting here. And between there and here, especially after glass two, is quite a distance. Can you persuade someone else at the table to grab that bottle of wine and top up your glass? Or will you have to use your own muscles—preferably not, of course?

Problem 2: sometime after your first glass of wine is served, you have become completely invisible to the serving staff. You try to catch their eye, you want to avoid a finger snap, you consider throwing your napkin or the bread basket to get their attention. In any case: they rush past and you’re left with an empty wine glass.

Screw it on

Two birds with one stone with this new wine glass. Use a rubber screw to secure it leak-tight to the bottle, and the magic happens: you have a glass that never runs empty. In fact, you’re putting the bottle to your mouth, but this attachment glass gives it just a little more finesse. What’s more, this attachment looks like the gadgets that were popular a few years ago for aerating red wine, so with a bit of luck, it does that too. Think about it: no more waiting for someone to top up your glass, the whole bottle is yours (we’re not going to share a wine glass, are we?) and it even looks elegant.
